sincerely. The best solution is to also to get associated with a good environment by giving up bad company. Therefore, it is a Madani request to all of you Islamic brothers to associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami for the betterment of your worldly life and the Hereafter. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to act upon this!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘He who loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise.’

(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

سینہ تری سُنَّت کا مدینہ بنے آقا          جنَّت میں پڑوسی مجھے تم اپنا بنانا

Putting kohl: 4 Madani pearls

1.         In Sunan Ibn Majah, there is a narration that, ‘The best kohl (Surmah) among all is Ismid as it strengthens the eyesight and grows the eyelashes.’ (Sunan Ibn-e-Majah, p. 115 vol. 4, Hadees 3497)

2.         Kohl powder made from other stones can also be used. It is, however, Makruh (disliked) for a man to use black kohl with the intention of makeup but if that is not the intention, it is not Makruh.

(Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, pp. 359, vol. 5)

3.         It is Sunnah to use antimony (kohl/Surmah) before sleeping.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, p. 180, vol. 6)

4.         Here is the summary of the three narrated methods of using kohl.

§  Apply thrice to each eye (put the kohl applier in the kohl bottle each time for a new application).

§  Apply thrice in the right eye and twice in the left.
